* Disabling TSX is not a trivial business .
*
* First of all , there ' s a CPUID bit : X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
* which says that TSX is practically disabled ( all transactions are
* aborted by default ) . When that bit is set , the kernel unconditionally
* disables TSX .
*
* In order to do that , however , it needs to dance a bit :
*
* 1 . The first method to disable it is through MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT and
* the MSR is present only when * two * CPUID bits are set :
*
* - X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT
* - X86_FEATURE_TSX_FORCE_ABORT
*
* 2 . The second method is for CPUs which do not have the above - mentioned
* MSR : those use a different MSR - MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL and disable TSX
* through that one . Those CPUs can also have the initially mentioned
* CPUID bit X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT set and for those the same strategy
* applies : TSX gets disabled unconditionally .
*
* When either of the two methods are present , the kernel disables TSX and
* clears the respective RTM and HLE feature flags .
*
* An additional twist in the whole thing presents late microcode loading
* which , when done , may cause for the X86_FEATURE_RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT CPUID
* bit to be set after the update .
*
* A subsequent hotplug operation on any logical CPU except the BSP will
* cause for the supported CPUID feature bits to get re - detected and , if
* RTM and HLE get cleared all of a sudden , but , userspace did consult
* them before the update , then funny explosions will happen . Long story
* short : the kernel doesn ' t modify CPUID feature bits after booting .
*
* That ' s why , this function ' s call in init_intel ( ) doesn ' t clear the
* feature flags .
